February 2012 Newsletter

Dear Parents,

 January has been a busy time here at Westminster. Even though we have not had a cold snowy winter so far, the children have enjoyed all of the winter themed crafts and activities.  We have appreciated being able to get outdoors in January!

Valentine’s Day parties will be held on Tuesday February 14. Please check with your child’s teacher concerning party needs and party times. This month we will be teaching the children that the greatest love is the love of Jesus, and that we can share His love by loving each other. We are having a food drive to share our love with those in need. Proceeds will be taken to ABCCM. We will be taking donations for our food drive through Thursday February 16.  Be sure and send in several food items so that we can “show our love” and help those in need!  

Our older classes are planning a field trip to the Pack library on Wednesday February 15.  They will be attending the “Preschoolers We Love You” program.  This is a program of stories, skits, and songs by the staff of the Buncombe County Public Libraries.  We will be needing parent volunteers to help with transportation. Parents will be receiving  more information concerning the trip as well as a permission form.

I am already receiving phone calls and having new families come by to visit the preschool who are making plans for the fall!  We will begin fall registration for our current preschool families on Monday February 13.  I will be sending enrollment information and registration forms home next week.  Fall enrollment will be open to families outside of the preschool beginning Thursday  March 1. 

As tax time is upon us, some of you may need our tax I.D. number.  That number is 56-604-8026. This number can also be found on our website in the parent handbook.

Thanks for being such wonderful, supportive parents, and thanks for giving us the opportunity to teach and care for your children.
